Tormek KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig

Symmetrical result regardless of blade thickness or geometry

With Tormek's patented KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig, you'll get symmetrical bevels with the same angle on both sides of the knife, regardless of the thickness or geometry of the blade. Whether you're sharpening a regular kitchen knife or a thicker, tapered hunting knife, you'll get the same results on both bevels of the knife without needing to reset the jig. The KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig fits most types of knives: household knives, chef's knives, craft knives and knives for hunting and fishing. It also works for the woodcarver's straight drawknives and the gardener's pruning shears.

When you mount your knife in the KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig, the knife self-centers in the jig, whatever its thickness or geometry. This means that the jig centers everything from the thinnest knives to knives with a thickness of up to 10 mm. It also means that knife blades that taper off from back to edge and heel to tip are centered in the jig, providing symmetrical grinding on both bevels of the knife. Easy setup, perfect results.

• Centers the knife in the jig for optimal, symmetrical results.
• Centers tapered knives and holds them firmly.
• An extra stop for tall knives, such as cleavers.
• Ability to shape a slightly convex edge with a movement between the two stops.
• Robust design – zinc-cast clamps and durable composite handle.
• Well-balanced – most of the weight is focused to the clamps, which provides a more balanced feel when sharpening.
• Slides smoothly with low friction against the universal support.
• Works with both Tormek T-4 and Tormek T-8, as well as older models.
